DERILLA BEALE BARNES

   Mrs. Derilla Beale Barnes, wife of the late R.T. Barnes, died at her home in 
the Sunbeam community Tuesday morning following an illness of two years.  Mrs. 
Barnes was 86 years of age, and is survived by five daughters, Mrs. Randolph 
Bonniville of Miami, Florida, Miss Emily Barnes who teaches in Richmond, Mrs. 
S.T. Saunders, Misses Norma and Marion Barnes and a son, Garnet Barnes all of 
Sunbeam.

   Mrs. Barnes was born and reared in this county, a member of a well-known 
family, and numbered a wide circle of friends throughout her home community. 
She was a consistent member of Buckhorn Baptist Church where her husband was 
senior deacon for many years, Mr. Barnes being a gallant Confederate soldier 
and a man of prominence in his community and church.  Genuine, old-fashioned 
hospitality prevailed in their home where courtesy, kindliness and a hearty 
welcome for every visitor made an ideal setting for the happy home life which 
obtained there during their many years of wedded life.

   Funeral services were held from the residence Wednesday afternoon in the 
presence of many friends and relatives, conducted by Rev. W.B. Denson, pastor 
of Beaver Dam Church, assisted by Rev. N.B. Foushee of Sunbeam.  Favorite hymns 
of Mrs. Barnes were sung and the pallbearers were: J.B. Worrell, H. McD. 
Spiers, Roswell Hart, Rosser Bryant, W.E. Beale, J.V. Simmons, C.R. Everett and 
Cyrus Worrell of Norfolk.  Burial was made in the family cemetery at the old 
homestead near Como.
